BURIED deep in the Adver’s picture archive there is a yellow-and-black box. Written on the box’s spine in black and red felt tip are three words: CRIME: LETHAL WEAPONS. Inside it is picture after picture of coppers holding everything from rocket launchers and assault rifles to murder weapons. Many of the images were taken by Adver photographers at weapon amnesties decades apart. Police officers in faded uniforms look out from among a sea of guns or knives.
